His appearance is also wild. He’s wearing a sleeveless denim jacket and short pants which is made by denim. He said that he cut his denim jacket's sleeve immediately he bought it.

He always holds one and a half liter of cola. Despite he can’t empty it at once, he throw away its lid immediately he bought it.

It’s Japanese joke.

Please check him!

There is a word "草食系男子(grass-eating man)". It means a man who is negative toward women and looks like weak. The opposite word is "肉食系男子(flesh-eating man)".

A cabbage roll is a food that meat is covered by boiled cabbage.

A man like a cabbage roll looks like grass-eating man, but internal is flesh-eating man. (He is a flesh-eating man in grass-eating shape.)

It was a good lesson for me.

In the end of 1980s, it was popular in Japan. Therefore there were a lot of metal bands, but boom didn't last long. In the early 1990s, there were few bands remained.

The most renowned metal band is "Loudness" who performed in early 1980s and they are still performing their music. In addition, some young bands are growing up. one of them is "galneryus" and they are my most favorite band.

If you like, please listen to their music!

May 5th is festival day called "Children's Day" in Japan.

There is a custom that we hoist Koi-Nobori. "Koi" means carps, and "Nobori" means going up(swimming up). It is hoisted to wish children's success and health.

In Chinese historical folktale, it’s said that many kind of fishes tried to swim up a water fall called Ryu-Mon(It is described Dragon Gate in Japanese Kanji), but only a carp could swim up and became a dragon. This story became a symbol of success and promotion.
